Maintenance Release: The Events Calendar, Event Tickets and premium plugins

We’re winding down on the maintenance releases for The Events Calendar and Event Ticket s 4.2 as we ramp up the pace of development on version 4.3. By the way, we have a sneak peek at what’s coming up in version 4.3 and we hope it makes you as excited to ship it as we are. In the meantime, we have a fresh maintenance release that squashes a few bugs in several of our plugins. We’ll provide the detailed changelogs below but let’s first look at what is included in this release:

• The Events Calendar 4.2.7
• Events Calendar PRO 4.2.6
• Community Events 4.2.5
• Event Tickets 4.2.7
• Event Tickets Plus 4.2.7

The following plugins have no changes in this release and their versions numbers remain the same:

• Filter Bar 4.2.2
• Community Tickets 4.2.2
• iCal Importer 4.2.5
• Facebook Events 4.2
• Eventbrite Tickets 4.2.1
• Advanced Post Manager 4.2.2

As always, we recommend that you backup both your site files and database when updating to the latest versions of plugins, as you would with any other WordPress update, and to test the updates in a safe development environment in advance. We expect smooth sailing for anyone already running 4.2+ but it’s better safe than sorry. For those of you updating from older versions, please do review our archive of release notes for possible breaking changes that would require further testing. That said, let’s jump into the changelogs!
